The Future Queen of Spain Glitters in a Queen Letizia-Inspired Power Suit During an Outing With Her Royal Parents
Queen Letizia might be married to the king of Spain, but she also rules when it comes to power dressing. Like the Princess of Wales, she often steps out in tailored trouser suits at royal events, and now her daughter (and heir to the Spanish throne) Princess Leonor is following in her mom's footsteps.
Leonor, known as the Princess of Asturias, glammed up a basic trouser suit while attending the Princess of Girona Awards on Wednesday, July 23. Wearing a navy Bleis Madrid blazer and matching pants woven with shimmering metallic thread, the 19-year-old future queen took the stage with King Felipe and Queen Letizia along with her 18-year-old sister, Infanta Sofía.
Although the Princess of Asturias has worn suits in the past, she tends to wear dresses for royal events, making her trouser suit a businesslike departure for the royal. Along with leaning into her mom's style, Leonor also wore Queen Letizia's diamond drop earrings, wearing her hair pulled up to show off the gemstones.

As for the Spanish queen, she repeated a black Mango trouser suit at the awards ceremony, pairing it with a pair of buckled black patent Sézane slingbacks. Infanta Sofía departed from the trouser suit theme, and per royal fashion blog UFO No More, she wore a one-shouldered navy jumpsuit by Spanish label The-Are.
On July 24, the royal sisters delivered another suit moment, with Leonor wearing a crisp white blazer with tan linen pants and white espadrilles while meeting with winners of the Princess of Girona Awards. Meanwhile, her younger sister dressed in a collarless, robin's egg blue jacket with coordinating gauzy trousers, and Queen Letizia wore a double-breasted navy blazer for the occasion.
Princess Leonor—who is balancing royal life with three years of military training—is fresh from her six-month voyage aboard Spanish Navy training ship Juan Sebastián de Elcano.
The princess was reunited with her family last week after traveling across the Atlantic Ocean as part of her extensive training, which will prepare her to one day be commander-in-chief of the Spanish armed forces.

The Bellini Is a Classic for a Reason. This Version Is Subtly Superior.
We drank Bellinis at my wedding, so I've got a soft spot for them. The combination of Prosecco and peach purée contains a whole swirl of other associations, too. Giuseppe Cipriani invented the cocktail around 1948 at the legendary Harry's Bar in Venice, or so the story goes. Its pinkish hue reminded him of the translucent light in paintings by the Venetian artist Giovanni Bellini. I've heard inspiration came specifically from the San Zaccaria Altarpiece; now, every sip evokes violins, martyrs, vanishing points and the occasional beheading.

Eternal Sunshine: Beautiful Books To Put You In A Summer Mood
Photography: Daria Reina; Courtesy of Passalacqua For all the talk of AI killing creativity, there's no curbing the appetite for print—especially for design-led coffee table books. Informative and inspiring, these gorgeous tomes whisk us off to new worlds through stunning photography and immersive stories. Whether or not you're off to somewhere nice this summer, these books dedicated to the enviable Mediterranean lifestyle bring that feeling of long, lazy days and warm sunshine right to your shelf. Here are some worth reading and adding to your collection. In just three years since opening, Passalacqua is already etched in the history books as the first property to top the inaugural World's 50 Best Hotels list in 2023. Built on land originally owned by Pope Innocent XI and set in the former home of composer Vincenzo Bellini, this 24-key boutique hotel isn't short of stories to tell. The De Santis family embarked on a top-to-toe transformation that features the work of local artisans and heritage makers so much so the hotel has become a living, breathing example of la dolce vita. The real magic of this 18th century villa lies largely in its storied location in Lake Como. Overlooking the majestic lake and surrounded by terraced gardens dotted with 15 water fountains, it's not surprising that Passalacqua is the most desired stay in Italy. Like the labor of love that is their hotel, the owners worked with Daria Reina and Andrea Ferolla on this beautiful book published by Assouline. Inside you'll find dreamy images, intimate stories and charming illustrations—a portal into Passalacqua and a wonderful ode to the grandeur of Lago di Como. Available exclusively on and Campania: Recipes & Wanderings Across Italy's Polychromatic Coast Courtesy of Belmond and Apartamento Due to the sheer number of food books published, they can sometimes look—and feel—the same. That can't be said for this particular Campania, which is chock-full of color, character and artistic photography. Following Liguria and Penang , this book is the third installation in Belmond and Apartamento's Recipes & Wanderings series—an exploration of food and travel around the globe. The focus is on Campania, a region described as Italy's culinary heartland, certainly high praise in a country that is incredibly serious about its food. Turn the pages and it reveals an eclectic mix of photographs by Lea Colombo, stories on local producers that craft delicious ingredients like mozzarella di bufala and Amalfi lemons, as well as essays from Elisa Carassai, Claudia Durastanti, and Margo Schachter. When you get hungry, which is inevitable, the cookbook features 21 classic dishes to replicate at home. These time-honored recipes are taken from the kitchens of Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, as well as shared by the likes of Salvatore Giuliano, part of the family behind Mimì alla Ferrovia, a historic Napolitan restaurant established by his grandfather in 1943. Available at Apartamento Magazine Wine & Travel Mediterranean Islands Photography: Neige Giacalone; Courtesy of Assouline Is a sojourn across the Med ever complete without indulging in a bottle of its enticing wine? If you enjoy a glass (or two) of vino when you travel, this new addition to Assouline's Wine & Travel series is up your alley. Penned by renowned sommelier Enrico Bernardo, Wine & Travel Mediterranean Islands traverses the region's mythical places where wine, culture and nature meet. Through beautiful photography (including some retro shots by Slim Aarons), the book takes readers to the volcanic vineyards of Sicily, the airy corners of Corsica, as well as the hidden enclaves of Majorca. Bernardo shares his expert and personal insight into the wine hotspots in the Mediterranean, offering a closer look not only on the terroir, but also the traditions and the people that shape the wine. Of course, it's also serves as a guide to the wines one must try (and take home), which include Assyrtiko from Greece, Cannonau from Sardinia and more.

Here's When The ‘Battlefield 6' Open Beta Starts And How To Play Early For Free
The wait is almost over. Battlefield 6 is just around the corner, and gamers get a chance to dive into the action early with two Open Beta weekends plus an Early Access period. I haven't been this excited for a Battlefield game since the lead-up to Battlefield 1, DICE's excellent WW1 shooter. For the past few years, I've barely touched the franichse. I wasn't a fan of Battlefield 2042, which released nearly four years ago. With Battlefield 6, the series returns to a modern military setting similar to Battlefield 3 and 4.d Better yet, the developer has promised gamers that the latest entry in the series will avoid the trap of major competitors like Call Of Duty and not go over-the-top with Operator skins. "It has to be grounded. That is what BF3 and BF4 was—it was all soldiers, on the ground. It's going to be like this," design director Shashank Uchil said in an interview recently. "I don't think it needs Nicki Minaj. Let's keep it real, keep it grounded." Uchil is throwing shade at Activision's Call Of Duty franchise, which released – and later took down – a skin of the celebrity in Modern Warfare II. What Are The Battlefield 6 Open Beta Dates? You may not be able to get Snoop Dogg or Ninja Turtle skins in Battlefield 6, but you will be able to get your hands on a massive arsenal of guns and get behind the wheel of various land and air military vehicles during the Open Beta. Here are the start and end-times for each portion of the upcoming free play period. Here's the Open Beta trailer: How Can I Get Into Early Access? There are several ways you can get into the Early Access portion of the Open Beta (August 7th-8th). If you signed up for Battlefield Labs before July 31st, you don't need a code. Simply login to the EA Account you registered with for Battlefield Labs and the beta will be available to pre-load. If you are an EA Play Pro subscriber, you also won't need a code. Login to your account and download the beta. You can get into the Early Access portion of the game a third way: Simply watch any creator streaming Battlefield 6 on Twitch during the Early Access period for 30 minutes. You'll get a code which you can redeem here. Gamers can also earn some Twitch Drops during the beta, including: Battlefield 6 will not be available on older consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One, nor is the game – with its impressive graphics and destructible environments – coming to Nintendo Switch. The game and the Open Beta will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and the EA App. These are the minimum and recommended specs for PC players: PC players will also need to enable Secure Boot in order to play the full game and the Open Beta. This, along with EA Javelin Anticheat, is designed to prevent cheaters from ruining the experience for everyone else. For help with the Secure Boot process, go here. What Maps And Modes Will Be Available During The Open Beta? During the first weekend, players will be able to play across three maps and three modes. The maps include: On weekend 2, we get a fourth map: Weekend 1 modes include Conquest, Breakthrough and Closed Weapons Breakthrough. The game offers both open and closed weapons options, with the latter limiting weapons to classes, though even in the open weapons modes classes will have preferred weapons that work better with the class for which they're intended. Read more about that here. On Weekend 2, Rush and Deathmatch will also join the rotation. There's no word on when the free-to-play Battlefield 6 battle royale mode will launch or whether it will be part of an upcoming beta. We'll see how all these maps and modes play soon enough when the Open Beta kicks off. The game has some competition this weekend, with a new season of Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 / Warzone a new season of Fortnite also launching on August 7th. Here's the Battlefield 6 multiplayer reveal trailer:
